A Brief History of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

(For Ahmadi Children)

By Shaikh Khurshid Ahmad
Translated by Zakaria Virk

Dear Children:

By the grace of Almighty Allah we all are Ahmadi Muslims. This means that we belong to the Umma (community) of Prophet Muhammad, peace & blessings of Allah be on him, and are members of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat. God Almighty has established this Jamaat in this age to spread the message of true Islam. Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, alayhe salam, laid the foundation of this Community in 1889.

The story of the establishment of this Jamaat, the difficult circumstances it has faced over the years, and its miraculous growth, is a fascinating tale that is bound to increase one’s faith. The details of this delightful story clearly prove that God Almighty established this Jamaat according to His divine promises, and He safeguarded it at every critical juncture. The opponents of the Jamaat tried their utmost to wipe it out, but God Almighty watched over it and blessed it with ever more progress.

In this book we will, inshallah, narrate these events so that every Ahmadi child becomes familiar with the history of his Community. I trust, dear children, you will find this book exciting, & you will read these pages with due care.
